Abstract

Abstract: Visual object tracking is a basic task in computer vision, which can be applied to different applications. Former methods of single object tracking problem demands to perform target state estimation according to object position of previous frame, but these methods are poorly capable of handling the fast movement of the target. In this paper, we introduce a Siamese network for single object tracking task. The network consists of two branches, one of which is the classification branch used to predict positive or negative samples, and the other is the regression branch used to predict the specific location of the object in sequence. In addition, we propose a local to global algorithm for long-term tracking to expand the search region when the target is out-of-view or full occlusion. Experiments show that our tracker achieves very promising results on VOT2018LT datasets while running at over 89 FPS.
